I have read the posts about not saving stuff into the Vista program files directory in guest mode. I have also read more than has been good for me on the the web, about the restrictions with Vista.

However, if I set up a new directory with the setup programme, would I be able to save to that ad infinitum in any user mode? I could spend an hour experimenting but I know one of you will have an answer to this one. I have to modify a programme with over 200 "save" points and I need to get this one right!

I don't have a definitive answer. Others here can give you some explicit guidance.

When I previously considered the options, I thought Vista's Public folder tree would be good for multi-user or 'any user' situations. Might require setting up that target folder once at install. (for my project, I decided instead to use a dedicated path for a specific user.)
